PASS Data Community Summit aims to create an inclusive conference and foster a community where everyone can succeed and thrive.
Our global community is made up of data professionals from a wide range of backgrounds. Although the list cannot be exhaustive, at our conference we explicitly honor diversity in age, gender, gender identity and expression, culture, ethnicity, language, national origin, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, physical and psychological differences, and technical ability.
Together, we strive to create an environment that values diversity, promotes an inclusive culture, and establishes a profound sense of belonging for each member of our community. We prioritize marginalized community members’ safety over privileged community members’ comfort.
Our aim for PASS Data Community Summit is to achieve a widely diverse and inclusive speaker lineup that reflects the richness and variety of the data community. We believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are essential components to promoting a sense of belonging and fosters a culture of learning and innovation.
We are committed to ensuring that our speakers represent different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and that they are treated fairly and equitably throughout the PASS Summit series.
We are also transparent about our progress and challenges in reaching our DEIB goals, welcoming feedback and suggestions from our attendees, speakers, and partners. By doing so, we hope to create an event that is not only informative, but engaging, inspiring, and empowering for everyone involved.
We can’t realistically measure all forms of diversity, and we rely on our speakers and attendees to provide us with this data. We recognize that building an inclusive conference and community takes time, and we want the conference to offer a platform for underrepresented speakers and attendees.
We’ve set measures to define speaker diversity as a speaker who belongs to one (or more) of the following groups:
We ask you to be patient with us; building a truly inclusive experience takes time, it’s a learning experience for us as conference organizers as well as for the community, and we know we won’t get everything 100% right first time.
We also ask you to consider any biases in your interactions with other community members, and to keep in mind that diversity among the community might not always be immediately visible. Our DEI&B steering group, made up of members of the community, has been guiding us and providing valuable input to ensure we stay on track with our goals in this space.
If you have any suggestions or ideas on what we can do to be better, please do reach out to us via email.

This document outlines the process for dealing with any PASS Summit Code of Conduct violations during any PASS Data Community Summit events held during 2026.
All incidents that are reported will be treated seriously and sensitively. All incidents should be reported as soon as possible.
If anyone is in physical danger or believes a criminal offence has been committed, this should be reported immediately by calling 911 in the US or 112 in Europe. The Code of Conduct and its associated process should not be construed as an emergency response mechanism.

When raising any potential Code of Conduct violations, please provide as much detail as possible, including the date and time of the incident, the nature of the incident and whether there is any perceived ongoing risk to the victim.
Note: our priority is to protect any alleged victim of harassment, and attendees will have the ability to make anonymous reports. We want attendees to feel comfortable disclosing any behavior they consider to be a violation of the Code of Conduct, but there may be instances when information about the incident is limited due to the report being anonymous, and this may limit our ability to investigate the incident.
The Code of Conduct Officer will be notified of the incident as soon as it’s reported, except where:
